"BOWLED" Over !!
Most of you have seen it by now....sorry, but I'm just so lovin this HANDmade piece, I can't stop gushing over it!
I assure that it will have a "place of honor" in my home.
Last year, Vickie and I attended the ROSELAWN Festival and Crafts show, here in Cartersville.
While there, I spotted some handmade bowls. This man used a wood (similar to the texture&thin like balsa wood--used in crafts) to craft a beautiful bowl & other items he displayed.
Well. I left and returned 2-3 times, trying to convince myself I realllllly wanted this beautiful piece! The price held me in check.....it was $62.oo. Growing up in "tuff" times, I finally decided---NO. Not that much $$ for something that I wanted which would "sit and look pretty".
Then, in walks Marc w/this one. Yep, I 'bout fell on the floor when he handed it to me!! It almost took my breath!
Marc has done craft shows over the years, and he is a very talented wood crafter, indeed. His blanket stands are off the charts, too.
As a person w/little craft talent, I am always blown away by people's ability to create beautiful HANDmade items....and all types of artsy thangs!
That includes --painting, embroidery, photography (like Ami and Brian) craft beauties (again Ami)...things you can see and touch----as well as, the beauty of God-given voices to sing or play instruments and produce music, for others to enjoy.
Marc and I discussed this piece. He said prices run $70.oo and up.....and he can't sell them even for $30.oo. !! And, y'all KNOW there's work&talent involved to handcraft a piece like this.
I am so very Blessed.....to be a sis-in-law of someone so very talented and generous.
Lamar says that he'll be 75 this yr.!! TALENT has no age limit.
THANK you, Marc, for this most wondermous creation.
